Welcome to  66 Degrees of Sound by The Reykjavík Grapevine, where Grapevine journalists Rex Beckett and Jóhannes Bjarkason (aka Jói) discuss the latest Icelandic music releases. Your one-stop shop for brand new Icelandic music, join us every Friday for the weekly roundup.

This week, Jói is joined by Ólöf Rún Benediktsdóttir — member of dark-wave group/witch coven Svartþoka, community organiser at Læti! (fka Stelpur Rokka!), and a newly joined member of Norðanpaunk's organisation team. 
We talk Svartþoka's attraction to the esoteric and their ritualistic motives and accidentally make this episode a Norðanpaunk tribute.

Episode tracklist:
Svartþoka — Draumsóleyjahafið (r. March 22, 2022)
Graveslime — 362 days until Christmas  (r.  in 2003)
Dj. Flugvél Og Geimskip feat. Pree Tone — Hamskipti (r. February 8)
Una Torfa — Þú ert stormur (r. August 8)
